The Roop are a Lithuanian pop rock band from Vilnius. Formed in 2014, the group consists of Vaidotas Valiukevičius, Robertas Baranauskas, and Mantas Banišauskas. The group has released two albums—To Whom It May Concern in 2015 and Ghosts in 2017–as well as the extended play Yes, I Do in 2018. They will represent Lithuania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 with their song "On Fire" after winning their country's national selection.

The Roop attempted to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest twice. They took part in Lithuania's 2018 national selection with the song "Yes, I Do". In the final, they received 16,491 votes (the second-highest ranking) from the public and came third overall. The Roop returned for the 2020 edition, Pabandom iš naujo! 2020, in the final of which it won both the public vote (with 50,139 votes) and the jury vote. Hence, The Roop will represent Lithuania at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in May that year. In many bedding odds they are favourites to win the contest this year.
